Hmmm I thought the httpd ones were more open :).

So, I did some digging around and I can't off hand find any passwords
in any of the httpd error logs or the like. Of course that doesn't
prevent a bug from happening.
So, what I would propose on this
(after the freeze):
* chown -R root:root /var/log/hosts /var/log/merged
* chmod -R 0644 /var/log/hosts /var/log/merged
* change /etc/rsyslog.conf to:
$DirCreateMode 0755
$FileCreateMode 0644
$FileOwner root
$FileGroup root
* add 'fi-apprentice' to be able to login there.
If we find anything logging sensitive information, we need to fix it
not to do that, and/or re-evaluate.
